Returns & Refunds
At The Gift Merchant, we want you to be happy with your purchase. If something isn’t quite right, we’re here to help make the returns process as simple as possible.
Returns
You may request a return within 14 days of receiving your order.
To be eligible for a return, the item must be:
-
Unused, unworn and in its original condition
-
Returned with all original tags, packaging and accessories
-
Free from marks, damage, perfume, makeup or signs of wear
-
Accompanied by your order number or proof of purchase
Please contact us before sending an item back so we can provide the appropriate return instructions.
Non-Returnable Items
For hygiene, safety or customisation reasons, certain products cannot be returned unless they arrive faulty or damaged. These may include:
-
Earrings and other pierced jewellery
-
Grillz or other jewellery designed for contact with the mouth
-
Personalised or customised products
-
Items that have been worn, used, altered or damaged after delivery
-
Products returned without their original packaging or accessories
-
Sale or clearance items marked as final sale
Clothing Returns
Clothing must be returned unworn, unwashed and with all original tags attached.
Please take care when trying on garments. We may be unable to accept items showing signs of makeup, perfume, deodorant, staining or wear.
We recommend checking the available size information carefully before ordering.
Faulty, Damaged or Incorrect Items
If your order arrives damaged, faulty or you receive the wrong item, please contact us as soon as possible.
Include:
-
Your order number
-
A brief description of the issue
-
Clear photos of the item and packaging
Once reviewed, we’ll arrange the appropriate replacement, refund or other resolution.
Change of Mind
If you change your mind, you may request a return within the return period provided the item meets our return conditions.
Unless the item is faulty, damaged or incorrect, return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer.
Original delivery charges are generally non-refundable for change-of-mind returns.
Exchanges
If you would like a different colour, size or style, please contact us to check availability.
Where a direct exchange is not possible, you may be asked to return the original item and place a new order.
Refunds
Once your return has been received and inspected, we’ll let you know whether the refund has been approved.
Approved refunds will be issued to your original payment method. Please allow additional processing time for your bank or payment provider to credit the funds to your account.
Return Shipping
Please ensure returned items are securely packaged.
We recommend using a tracked delivery service, as The Gift Merchant cannot be responsible for returned parcels that are lost or damaged in transit.
Please do not send a return until you have contacted us and received return instructions.
Order Cancellations
If you need to cancel or change an order, please contact us as soon as possible.
We’ll do our best to accommodate your request, but once an order has been processed or dispatched, it may no longer be possible to cancel it.
The Gift Merchant reserves the right to decline a return where an item does not meet the conditions outlined above. Nothing in this policy is intended to limit any rights you may have under applicable consumer law.
